Week of June 12th

Summer is still in full force around here. We enjoy every minute! We've been spending time being silly at the local park... :) He is pretending to be Spider man in these pictures:



I got a great run in by the water:


Kent continues to have swim lessons and work hard! He loves them.


And he was so proud of his move here, that he gave himself two thumbs up!


After swim class one day, we went to Chickfila and Kent made a new friend!


We also spent a very hot day cooling off at the splash park.




 We went to see Finding Dory! I think Kent and I were equally excited for this movie. It was the best children's movie I have seen in a long time!


Lastly, we celebrated Father's Day on Saturday with my Dad and Chad. We made so many fun memories {Kent is "Mr. Napkin Head" here!} and ended the day with my heart feeling very full and blessed.

Summer is here...

 Finally! Summer is here! We kept a pretty busy schedule this first week of summer and we are loving every minute. We have so many fun plans!

At my work end of the year party, I won a gift card to the mall, so Sunday after church, we headed that way to spend it. Kent loves playing in the kid's area so he was a happy guy that we made that our first stop together! {With my gift card, I got a few tank tops for summer plus some really good smelling shampoo & conditioner. Score!}





On Monday, we had a quiet day - we got the oil changed in the car and then came home and caught up on some housework and watched a new movie we got from RedBox (Norm of the North)

On Tuesday, Kent started swim lessons for the summer! He LOVED it!





After swim class, we had a picnic lunch with this amazing view.



And when we got home, we were worn out and ready for a nap.



On Wednesday, we headed to our local pool for the "Little Tykes" swim time for kids 6 and under. Kent was super excited! We packed a lunch and spent a long time there. He is now big enough to do the "big slide" which was the best news ever to my five year old!





When we got home, we started the project of rearranging his room a bit. I started by cleaning out his large dresser which had all of his artwork from the past few years. I used freezer bags to sort and label them by years so we can add them to a special memory box for him {like my mom did for me.} It will be fun to look back on all of these little projects through the years!




On Thursday, we had swim class again. His confidence is already growing so much with his swimming - it's so fun to see!




And last night, I was exercising in our living room and Kent wanted to join. It was almost bed time so we decided to do something calm. I searched for yoga for kids and found this fun video. Kent loved it (and looked so cute doing it, I had to snap a pic.)



Did I mention we LOVE Summer? :)

Hello, June..

June is finally here! I am so excited and welcome it with open arms. June means SUMMER has officially started! Here's what happened last week...

On the few days we had nice weather and no rain, I got some good runs in. The views are always amazing at Cole Park and the Marina!

 






Kent had his swim lesson test, and got all registered to start attending lessons twice a week! He had such a fun time in class with a new teacher and new students.



We had "Superhero Day" at our school where everyone, teachers and students got to wear a superhero costume. I was Superman and Kent was Iron Man. :) His teacher was an Incredible {pictured later in this post}!




We then officially said good-bye to Pre-K and his amazing teacher, Mrs. Aleman. Funny story: we ran into her as we were buying her gift and Kent told her all about what it was and why we were getting it for her. LOL. She was a good sport and loved it! (PS. It was a "Pioneer Woman" mason jar filled with candy and crystal light packets!)






Kindergarten, here we come!
